Crocs prefer Kalle - Sarawak Tribune

KUCHING: The Football Association of Sarawak (FAS) yesterday decided to pick one more Cameroonian, Sone Masue Kalle, to join their Super League squad for the 2012 season.

Out was 32-year-old stocky striker from South Africa, Nkosinathi ‘Toni’ Antonio Nhleko.

Sarawak coach Robert Alberts said the decision to pick the 28- year-old Kalle was arrived at a meeting to discuss the local and foreign imports needed by Sarawak for next season.Kalle joined compatriot and defender Guy Bwele, who was picked three days ago, said Alberts.

“We were actually looking closely at Nhleko but he did not meet all our criteria for selection.We chose Kalle and have given him a year’s contract,” said Alberts.

Sarawak have also decided to hire two locals, both goalkeepers, for next season’s campaign.They are Sani Anuar Kamsani and Saiful Amar Sudar.Others picked are striker and midfielder K.Rajan, Depan Sakwati (midfield, defence), K.

Ravindran (striker), defenders Yosri Derma Raju, Ramesh Laiban Huat, Mohd.Azizan Baba and Mohd.

Rashid Mohd Aya.
Also in are two youngsters discovered during Sarawak’s trip to scout for talent throughout the state recently - midfielder Shahrol Abdul Malek and striker Ronald Denis.
Alberts said the presence of the young players in the state squad will make Sarawak a more potent force in the M-League.

“I will start to work on them through regular training and for now we have no plans to play friendly matches against top Sarawak clubs,” said Alberts.

Sarawak plan to tour Bandung, Indonesia next month to play against top professional Bandung sides.

“We are due to play matches against four top teams in the Liga Super Indonesia (ISL).The teams are Persip Bandung, Persika Bandung, Pelita Jaya and a Bandung Selection,” he said.

Today's first match in Bandung was against the team Mutiara Hitam. This a team of professional African players that are currently without a contract and now playing to sign a contract with a new club. Some players are ex national players and they play a high level of football. The team is based in Jakarta. The match was played at Std Gunung Boong. And kick off was scheduled at 15.30. However we started only at 16.30 because the team was delayed due to a bad traffic jam on the highway from Jakarta and than they had also problems with the buss.

The first half we played:

GK: Saiful Amar

Def: Rames, Hairul/ Yosri, Sharan, Mazwandi

Midf: Dzulazlan, Sharol Malek, Ronald, Azizan Saperi

Fwd: Khairul. Benedict

The players responded well against a strong physical team. Credit to our young midfield that won many balls and specially Sharol Malek did a great job. We could play better with the flanks and more forward thinking. In the 36th minute there was a great counter attack that was initiated by Mazwandi, who played a good ball to Benedict who was running forward behind the defense and cleverly passed to Khairul in the box who tapped it in. The first half ended in 1 -0.

Second half we started with:

GK : Sani

Def: Farees, Hairul, Yosri, Mazwandi

Midf: Rashid, K.Rajan, Azizan bin Baba, Asri

Fwd: Ravindran, Zamri

The players dominated the match. Good combination attacks with some great scoring opportunities. Good width and depth and strong midfield control where Azizan distributed the balls well. However after 30 minutes the referee decided to stop the match due to it was getting darker. He could have played on but we could do nothing about it. Overall it was a good start as both set of players tried to play good combination football and had a positive attitude towards the match. It was the first real test for the players and I was satisfied with the overall outcome.

But now they are in Bandung and will play the next match this coming Monday. This match we play the local team from Bandung, Saint Prima, and on the same venue as today.

Thanks and regards

Season 2012 - Liga Super

Setelah sekian lama tidak beraksi dalam liga utama, pasukan Sarawak akhirnya membuat kemunculan semula. Aksi konsisten di liga perdana pada musim lepas dengan menyaksikan Sheikh Zaki dan Robert Albert mengenal pasti 'core player' dalam skuad utama.

Core player yang dimaksudkan adalah terdiri daripada local Sarawakian seperti Asri Chu Chu, Maswandi, Hairol Mokhtar, Dzuladzlan, Shahrol Saperi, Zamri Morshidi, Ben Martins, Azizan Saperi, Fareez Tukidjo..

Dengan adanya 'core player', Robert Alberts dapat mengenal pasti kekuatan dan kekurangan yang ada dalam pasukan Sarawak.

Pada pendapat peribadi saya, Sarawak memerlukan import di bahagian serangan, midfield dan pertahanan tengah.

Antara sebab utama adalah kita kehilangan top scorer pada musim lepas iaitu Bobby Gonzales. Beliau adalah striker yang berupaya bertindak bersendirian yang mana ciri yang tiada pemain lain. Lantas, saya berfikir either ambil import player yang mampu bertindak bersendirian dan mempunyai keupayaan merencanakan gerakan serangan.

Di bahagian midfield pula kita telah lihat di dalam saingan Piala Malaysia kita tidak memiliki pemain yang dapat menjadi general di dalam padang. Kesemua gerakan tertumpu di bahagian sayap melalui Asri Chu Chu tapi tempo dibahagian midfield agak mengecewakan.

Gerakan long ball mudah dibaca oleh pihak lawan. So - dapatkan player import alaa-ala David Silva. If susah gilak ambik balit Junaid Hartley =p

Di bahagian pertahanan pula saya mengimpikan kita mempunyai seorang player import yang mampu bertindak sebagai pertahanan tengah + defensive midfield. Dua watak dalam permainan.

So - realistik target untuk tahun 2012. Saya target Sarawak kekal dalam liga Super.. Tunggak terbalit sik duli asal kekal untuk liga 2013 pasya bok cerita panjang gik..
